It already exists. You can run OpenBSD DomUs (ie. run OpenBSD as a Xen

OpenBSD as a Xen "host"**).

See http://www.ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen/

** This is a flawed metaphor, because Xen is a _hypervisor_, NOT an
emulator. The Domain U installs are not really running as guest OSes,
and the Domain zero installations are not really running as host OSes.
But you need at least one Dom0 (which when I last looked into this
still could not be OpenBSD) and you can install OpenBSD as a DomU.

I know very little, apart from having been curious once. If you want
to know more, you probably really should talk to Christoph Egger, who
did the actual porting work.
